However, Tehran ruled out Oman’s proposal for regional joint management of the strait, saying it had no chance of success. The U.S. and Saudi Arabia are trying to pressure Oman to advance their “unrealistic plans” regarding the strategic strait, the official told Reuters. Iran insisted the entire inbound ​route through the strait and part of the outbound route must be under Iranian control, the official added. The unnamed military official, quoted by state broadcaster IRIB, said attributing attacks on U.S. interests in the region to Iran was a “major miscalculation”. Iran effectively shut the strait after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on ​February 28.
